Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 2008POD for 27th August 2008 (while we're on about film!)
Far be it for me to miss out on a thread... All this display of mono imagery, I just had to do it. http://www.d-mac.info/POD/POD-Aug-2708.htm > Far be it for me to miss out on a thread... All this display of mono > imagery, I just had to do it. > > http://www.d-mac.info/POD/POD-Aug-2708.htm I hope the customer was pleased with the image. I find the sky a bit distracting. The brightness above the building draws the eye away from the main subject, the bride and groom. A slightly tighter crop of from the second piling in front of the couple to the first one behind, for horizontal. Then to just above the building in the background and across would have brought the couple more to the foreground; removed the distracting bright sky;kept the boats name in the image. The tone and contrast, as far as I can tell on my moniter, looked dead on. The expresion and posing of the couple is quite nice. Of course this is just my two cents of opinion.

Crop out that old gaff rigged ketch? Sacrilege! When they are old and bored with each other they still have the old yacht to look at. Just kidding. Yes, it is a bit "all inclusive" but as I imagine they have plenty of other tighter shots I doubt that they would object to including some of the more evocative scenery among their memories. > The tone and contrast, as far as I can tell on my moniter, looked dead > on.

It looks as though she is getting a hug from a bus boy. Regards Tony >>> Far be it for me to miss out on a thread... All this display of mono >>> imagery, I just had to do it.

So one day while seeing him about your multi-personality disorder you happened to slip into Julian mode and mention you were a wedding photographer and he said he would give you a few free sessions if Julian shot his wedding. >> Far be it for me to miss out on a thread...

I toned it down in the canvas version. One issue with displaying a small version of near life-size picture is just as you said. The point of image is hard to make out. That issue goes away as the size of the picture increases. It hangs on the wall very nicely. Eye hight for the couple and the rest is not distracting. |
